| Description | Examination of wild-living rodents from different localities on the presence of antibodies to Borrelia afzelii and identification of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato isolates obtained from caught rodents. Yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis) was the only positive species, which prevailed in number of trapped individuals. There were found differences among localities (time of trapping, number of individuals). There were isolated 4 strains of borreliae, identified as B. afzelii (1x), B. garinii (2x) and the mixture of both (1x). There were found discrepsncies in position and intensity of surface proteins (Osp) between B. afzelii and B. garinii. |
